  • So What's the A6 Computer from STD Really Like?
    Front cover and reprint by kind permission of Qercus magazine. So what's the A6 computer from STD really like? (A reprint from Qercus issue 268) The A6 What is the A6? The A6 is a new generation of RISC OS computer. It is based around a high-specification PC running Windows XP. An emulation environment called VirtualRPC enables this machine to appear to RISC OS as if it is a traditional RiscPC machine, and so normal RISC OS applications can be run. Can I run all RiscPC applications? Virtually all, yes. The exception are those which rely on direct access to the parallel or serial ports such as the dongled versions of Impression, although the non-dongled versions work fine, and some modem diallers - internet connections are provided by the emulation environment via the internal modem or network interface. How fast? The A6 will generally run user applications much more quickly than the fastest StrongARM RiscPC. Applications which rely on the transfer of large amounts of data, such as DTP or graphics manipulaton will perform faster still. Such applications also benefit from 8MB of "VVRAM", which means that large screenmodes in true colour are no problem. Our new A6+ offers further enhancements and even better performance - see the last page of this leaflet for details. You're biased! Yes, we are - we specified the A6 to offer an ideal RISC OS emulation environment and we're proud of our achievements. But don't take our word for it - enclosed is a copy of a review of the A6 computer which originally appeared in Qercus issue 268.

Praevalent istae, si veritate ac recto judicio ful- ciantur: sin minus, ab eruditis et recte sentientibus merito reprobantur. J. Mabillon. PREFACE The present work is an essay in regional palaeography. Its inception goes back to my student days at the University of Munich. My master, Ludwig Traube, had proposed to me the thesis ' Monte Cassino as a centre for the transmission of Latin classics \ After spending some time on this subject it became clear that adequate treatment of it would be possible only after acquiring such a knowledge of the peculiar script used at Monte Cassino as would enable me to make sound and independent judgements with regard to the dates of Monte Cassino MSS., that is, MSS. written in the Beneventan or South Italian minuscule. Thus I conceived the idea of making a careful study of the script employed throughout the lower half of the Italian peninsula. Traube made no objection to my working on a subject of my own choice ; but with characteristic generosity put at my disposal his entire library, his very large collection of facsimiles, and even some of his own notes.

Nevertheless, the Greek alphanumerical ciphers agree in al1 cases (except for 3 errors in a total ofmore than ISO correspondences) with Roman figures. Confusion between Hindu·Arabic and Greek (or romí) figures is not uncommon.

  • Five Centurie< of German Fraktur by Walden Font
    Five Centurie< of German Fraktur by Walden Font Johanne< Gutenberg 1455 German Fraktur represents one of the most interesting families of typefaces in the history of printing. Few types have had such a turbulent history, and even fewer have been alter- nately praised and despised throughout their history. Only recently has Fraktur been rediscovered for what it is: a beau- tiful way of putting words into written form. Walden Font is proud to pres- ent, for the first time, an edition of 18 classic Fraktur and German Script fonts from five centuries for use on your home computer. This booklet describes the history of each font and provides you with samples for its use. Also included are the standard typeset- ting instructions for Fraktur ligatures and the special characters of the Gutenberg Bibelschrift. We hope you find the Gutenberg Press to be an entertaining and educational publishing tool. We certainly welcome your comments and sug- gestions. You will find information on how to contact us at the end of this booklet. Verehrter Frakturfreund!

  • Numerical Notation: a Comparative History
    This page intentionally left blank Numerical Notation Th is book is a cross-cultural reference volume of all attested numerical notation systems (graphic, nonphonetic systems for representing numbers), encompassing more than 100 such systems used over the past 5,500 years. Using a typology that defi es progressive, unilinear evolutionary models of change, Stephen Chrisomalis identifi es fi ve basic types of numerical notation systems, using a cultural phylo- genetic framework to show relationships between systems and to create a general theory of change in numerical systems. Numerical notation systems are prima- rily representational systems, not computational technologies. Cognitive factors that help explain how numerical systems change relate to general principles, such as conciseness and avoidance of ambiguity, which also apply to writing systems. Th e transformation and replacement of numerical notation systems relate to spe- cifi c social, economic, and technological changes, such as the development of the printing press and the expansion of the global world-system. Stephen Chrisomalis is an assistant professor of anthropology at Wayne State Uni- versity in Detroit, Michigan. He completed his Ph.D. at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, where he studied under the late Bruce Trigger. Chrisomalis’s work has appeared in journals including Antiquity, Cambridge Archaeological Jour- nal, and Cross-Cultural Research. He is the editor of the Stop: Toutes Directions project and the author of the academic weblog Glossographia.

Satz: LuaTEX und Bernhard Assmann Some Roads to Script Classification: Via Taxonomy and Other Ways Torsten Schaßan Abstract In codicology, the features of a script play an important role for dating and localising the manuscript. There are other questions that can be dealt with by examining these features, e.g. questions of intellectual history, influences of literary genres, or influences of organisational aspects of scriptoria on the shape of a script. But especially in the context of manuscript cataloguing the classification of script is of highest importance if other evidence such as a colophon or references like the naming of celebrations for local saints cannot be found.
